The Benefits of Getting a Pregnancy Massage

The Benefits of Getting a Pregnancy Massage –

Pregnancy massage is a great addition to an expecting mother’s prenatal care since they relieve a lot of the stress, both physical and emotional, that comes along with pregnancy, as well as promote good health and overall well-being for both mother and child. There are many benefits to having a prenatal massage, but here are the top 4 most beneficial.

1. Increased Circulation

Massage therapy works to improve blood flow and lymphatic circulation, keeping blood pressure at healthy levels. The increased blood flow can also relieve muscle tension in areas of the body afflicted by the extra weight brought on by carrying a baby.

2. Decreased Swelling

Various prenatal massage techniques used by registered massage therapists help combat the sore or swollen legs, feet, and lower back by reducing pain and edema that is common during pregnancies.

3. Relieves Pain and Discomfort

Headaches, lower-back pain, neck and shoulder tension brought on by pregnancy can be relieved by the release of serotonin during a massage, as well as techniques used to target pain and discomfort in specific areas of the body.

4. Reduce Stress Brought on By Hormones to Improve Sleep

Massage therapy during pregnancy, as well as after, reduces anxiety, diminishes discomfort, increases relaxation, and facilitates the release of endorphins by your body, helping to balance your sleep patterns and giving you a good night’s rest!

Our RMTs have experience working with mothers-to-be and offer pregnancy massages in Vancouver. Remember to consult with your doctor before booking to ensure that a pregnancy massage is a right choice for your particular pregnancy and prenatal care routine, especially if your pregnancy is classified as high-risk.

Definitely 5 plus stars! I initially made an appointment because of the convenient location, extended hours and that they advertised direct billing. I'm very glad I did! Kyle Tarry is professional, knowledgeable and extremely talented. I seriously floated out out of there after my treatment. I have a desk job and also work out, lifting pretty heavy at the gym. I tend to get knots and aches which Kyle found and destroyed. I'm very much looking forward to my next visit! A shout out to Chris as well; the friendly proprietor behind the desk. Made me feel very welcome. Highly recommended!read more

One of the best massages I have ever received was at Davie Village RMT. Kyle Terry is extremely talented and very skilled massage therapists. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a massage for pain relief. His massage is magical and the pain disappears as if it was never there. He also teaches some very helpful stretches after the massage which really helps in the long run. This place is open until 10:00 pm and it is also open on Saturdays which makes it very convenient and easy to schedule an appointment on a day off or after working hours.read more

Davie Village RMT has mightily impressed me. I am the sort of person who prefers to look after myself as much as possible. However a couple days ago I found myself with a seriously uncomfortable ache in the back of my left shoulder, and there was very little I could about it on my own. The discomfort certainly made my physically demanding job less enjoyable. The moment I walked in I was greeted by the happy face of Chris at the front desk. I could easily understand why he was so pleasant as the facilities were impeccably clean and cozy. Katerina was my therapist, and she conducted herself with a high level of professionalism, and specificity during treatment, that was incredibly refreshing to experience in someone as young as she seemed to be. I had a short treatment, 45 minutes, and in that time Katerina managed to address my objectives and a few of her own. It was comforting to hear her taking my well-being to heart and addressing tension in my mid-back that I was previously unaware of due to the ache in my shoulder. The relief was seemingly systemic, and my job has been far more tolerable since. Thank you to everyone at Davie Village RMT, most especially you Katerina. I don't go to others for help often but I'll certainly be coming back here when I absolutely need professional, quality, and accurate care.read more

I have had many RMTs over the years and am so glad I found Kyle. I have been going to him for a couple years now. His hours are great so I don't have to take time off work like I had to for my previous RMT. He is very knowledgeable and his treatments are really effective. Between my busy desk job and rigorous exercise regime I turn into a pretzel on regular basis. Thankfully Kyle is always there to save the day!read more
